Re: VARIATIONS ON "WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS" for winds

Thanks for listening, Randy.
I was under the impression that I had downloaded a reverb program, but it either disappeared or it's hiding somewhere. I did a search in Mac find and nothing showed up. Do you know of a freeware reverb for mac, or a program less than $100? Most programs seem to be for windows.

And the heart of a 6800 or something like that! I worked with some guys that had a DEC PDP-8 mini with a whopping 1K of core around that time. They had a contest who could boot from 8" floppy in the fewest hand entered instructions. The winner was 11 instructions.

Thanks Leaf,
I am working on my second Christmas CD.
I did this arrangement last night and today. I plan to do 8 or 9 more before December. I will post each one and expect real feedback.
Not all Carols can be approached as this one was because it wouldn't be appropriate. That would also be boring.

Gary:
As a fellow desecrater (sp?), I applaud you. A tune should be like a piece of clay to a sculptor, something to be shaped and reshaped until it has YOUR stamp on it or as Artie Shaw has supposedly said, a tune is something to play WITH, to see what YOU can do with it (that's paraphrased.)
As to your great adventure into the unexpected and after all of the fireworks, I expected a little more spectacular ending, but that does not detract from my overall appreciation of an intersting and fun arrangement.
